Compassionate justice!

I wish I could give this place negative five stars!!! If you ever have Douglas Manley as your judge, be forewarned, he embodies the definition of a tyrant and you are automatically guilty!!!!! Even with evidence that proves your innocence (which he won't even allow you to provide to the court) he will still throw you in jail, until you agree to his illegal, biased, malicious and predetermined judgement!! He refuses to uphold his oath and refuses to acknowledge the law!!

Any time I’ve come here it’s been great customer service from all departments, today the VSO Officer dropped off a box for the holidays. We were not asking nor did we expect it. However, we are always grateful to anyone who puts food on our table. It was very special to know we were thought of this Holiday season. Thank you Mr. Rick and your team for all you do. You are appreciated.
